It is indeed a shame that Eric Lichtblau so badly interpreted the post-liberation lives of Holocaust survivors in the American Zone of Germany. As both Harold Marcuse and Atina Grossmann point out in their respective posts, Lichtblau, on the basis of either poor scholarship or an effort to immediately sensationalize the remainder of his book, provides misinformation and a series of half-truths regarding both the situation of survivors in the various Displaced Persons camps and the attitude and actions of the American military toward those Jews under its authority.

On March 1, 2015  we will publish our next bulletin on new books in German History and German Studies. If you would like to announce the  publication of your book, please submit the following information to kira.thurman(at)h-german.org by February 28, 2015: the author's name, the title of the book, the press, the month it appeared in print, and a link to the publisher/book's site optional). We are somewhat flexible as to what constitutes a "new" book, but in general we want to publicize books published in the past twelve months.
Thank you very much,
